Unknown Soldier - Hailing From - Ben Rosenthal

Two things - yes I did write this to take place in the SCW universe and yes it will be drawn up as an actual SCW strip down the line. Hey, I have deadlines and need to multi task!

1. The
SCW Ring Announcer is standing in the ring.
Alongside him is a man in a soldier’s uniform, but with a black,
emotionless mask over his face. Reilly
and Murdoch are in the commentary box in the bottom right of the panel (separate
panel as always). Reilly looks pleased
with himself while Murdoch looks to be questioning.

RING ANNOUNCER

Introducing, and standing to my right--

MURDOCH

Kind of a cheesy uniform you chose for him Reilly.

2. The
Solider is saluting as the Ring Announcer reads off his stats. In the commentator’s box Murdoch is appalled
at the lack of imagination Reilly has used.

RING ANNOUNCER

Standing at an unknown height and hailing from places
unknown, he is—

MURDOCH

How can he have an unknown height? He’s standing right next to him?

This character could not get any worse.

3. The
Soldier is completing his salute while the Ring Announcer finishes calling his
name. In the commentator’s box Reilly is
looking pleased with himself. Murdoch
has slammed his head on the desk.
Hard.

The fact that you not only made this work, but work so damn well is testament to your writing skills. You have a gift for writing the SCC stuff you hit so many great beats in three short panels. A tip of the hat to you sir.
